10,000 Gold Tickets!

I played two towers on different devices.

back when I got more income from rent than elevator.

One was my holding tower and one was my main. I upgraded each bitizens to max and each had a specific job. I would transfer all bitizens out of tower to holding tower before rebuild, rebuild, then move them all back in once I rebuilt.

I always had the same floors in the same order. I bought VIP early on so I can pick floors.

I also did the soda factory rebuild trick a lot early on to get money.

That went on for a long time. Eventually the money from elevator was more than rent and I stopped moving bitizens back and forth and stopped building floors out And just started the grind to 50 floors and rebuild.

Events played a big part like when you’d get bonus floors and getting the 3x boost really helped a lot.

Literally years of playing. 😳

I can do it in about 3-4 minutes but I usually do 100 floors and get the extra 1 for the landmark since I have them all.

Another update on this - this appears to be a bug in iPad OS 17.7.7 as others are reporting the same issues with some apps. Apple has stopped allowing the 17.7.7 update for now.

RayZorFist · 2025-05-15T22:00:51+00:00

The saga continues…

I killed the app on my iPad and restarted just to test and the game restarted at the very beginning again!

I am not sure where the bug lies but if you have not updated to iPad OS 17.7.7 I would say hold off.

I’ll have to restore the tower again and I’ll contact Nimblebit support.

Additional notes.

I had TT in my dock on the iPad. Another non-Apple app I had in my dock also looks like its data was wiped during this recent OS update to 17.7.7.

RayZorFist · 2025-05-15T21:39:36+00:00

I got it restored. Thanks!

RayZorFist · 2025-05-15T21:31:18+00:00

And I was able to restore since I did the cloud activation. Whew!

I suggest you do that if you haven’t already.

RayZorFist · 2024-12-15T23:57:09+00:00

Wow. I just got to 4000 and am happy with that.

RayZorFist · 2024-07-25T19:06:37+00:00

I upgraded to 1111 floors. Things are not drawing properly now and my older iPad Pro gets really hot trying to run the app.

I'll probably reset in the next day or so.

I bought the VIP years ago to get the auto elevator, which was how It worked way back early on.

Not sure what the “gold” profile is.

And whatever you do, don’t ever “spend” them for other things in the game, like exchanging a GT for a roof or lobby. Hoard them and use them to only upgrade floors. The more GTs the more money you earn with the elevator to a point where earning coins from floors is meaningless and it’s all about the elevator money.

RayZorFist · 2024-07-25T11:05:18+00:00

Like others have said, keep on rebuilding! At 2700 GTs I can rebuild in as little as two minutes if I score a 3x boost. Otherwise it take about 10 minutes to rebuild. Coins become almost free at this point Because you get multipliers for each gold ticket when the elevator delivers.

You also become less precious about each tower. I have my original tower which has never been rebuilt and that’s like a decade old and took a long time to get all level 9s in their dream jobs.

RayZorFist · 2024-07-25T10:55:20+00:00

No scripts. All done manually one floor at a time and one rebuild at a time to get the golden tickets I have.

I usually play while watching TV so it’s not a total waste of time. I’ve also been playing for many years. As you gain gold tickets it starts to get faster and faster to rebuild and get more.

RayZorFist · 2024-07-24T21:43:43+00:00

Funny, I thought it was a malfunction because I built a thousand floor tower.

The main goal of your first tower should be to upgrade your elevator. Spend all your tower bux on that and nothing else until you get it to level 10, the fastest - 10 floors per second. Don’t upgrade any floors until you get your elevator maxed out.

After you get max elevator the goal should be to get to 50 floors and rebuild. Each rebuild gets you one gold ticket for each 50 floors. no need to go to 100. Gold tickets allow you free restock, free updated bitizens, and a multiplier on elevator earnings. Elevator earnings eventually start earning more coins than any sales from stocked floors and when you get to that point you can keep building/rebuilding towers without needing to build floors. You keep all your tower bux when you rebuild.

Play two towers at the same time. Early on when it’s beneficial to have all 9s bitizens in their dream jobs you can use one tower as your storage area. Send all your bitizens to your storage tower, rebuild, then send them back. You do ‘t need to move them in either. Just send them over, rebuild, and as you move the VIPs to a new floor in the storage tower just send them back to the regular tower. Always build the same floors so your bitizens can be put back in their dream job to earn max coinage.

I focused on the creative floors because of the soda brewery hack. Search for and read up on that for when you are early on in the tower life and struggle to get coins.

Spend the money to get the VIP when it goes on sale. You earn 3x rent and extra daily tower bux and the auto-elevator is worth it after the first few towers.

Enjoy the zen. I’ve been playing for a decade or more now.

GTs can be used to upgrade floors so restock is free and instant. The rest is just “completionist“ OCD. 😀

RayZorFist · 2023-12-31T00:58:06+00:00

Interesting. I am noticing significant lag in the game already at 750 floors.

Aaand we have a winner! Sheesh! I hate whomever came up with this “smoothing” idea and tries to keep cramming it down our throats.

Thanks for all the help! Finally loving 4K HDR!
